So, as I understand it, a unit that charges can Jink if it has that rule (meaning bikes and FMCs) on the charge, thus gaining the appropriate cover save against the overwatching weapons. My question is, if said unit successfully charges and manages to either wipe out the unit it charged, or at least win and force them to fall back, when does it no longer count as Jinking? Does Jinking go away at the start of your opponent's turn? Or does it continue through your next turn as if you jinked during your opponent's shooting phase? To me, if it ends during your opponent's turn, there's never any reason not to jink against overwatch as the penalty will go away after the Assault phase.

Without wanting to be rude, have you tried reading the Jink special rule?

It tells you quite clearly when they may only fire Snap Shots until.

Nevermind, found it. Mods, delete this, it was right in front of me the whole time.

I should learn not to post when I'm dead tired.
